Dishes that pair well with this Fried Rice Recipe:

Can fried rice be frozen? Yes, for up to two months in an airtight container.

Can fried rice be healthy? Healthy means different things to different people, but I eat this during keto for my carb-ups. It’s gluten-free if you use tamari.

How to reheat fried rice: There are two ways I recommend. You can do it in the microwave, but make sure you have some sort of lid or plate on top of it to trap the moisture and steam the rice, otherwise you’ll get hard and dried out rice instead of fluffy rice. You can also re-heat it in the skillet, stir frying it to rewarm.

Instructions

Whisk the eggs in a bowl with a tablespoon of water and a pinch of salt (or 1 tsp of soy sauce), until blended.

Heat one tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet set over medium heat, and add the beaten eggs. Let the eggs cook for a couple minutes, not moving the egg around the pan, but just letting it sit until it sets into an omelet.

Remove the egg to a cutting board, and chop into big pieces.

Add two tablespoons of oil to the skillet over medium high heat, and add the carrots, peas, and scallions.

Add 1 tbsp of soy sauce, and cook for about 5 minutes, until the carrots soften slightly.

Add the leftover rice, and toss around for 1 minute, trying to break up any clumps of rice.

Add 2 tbsp of soy sauce and the remaining tablespoon of oil, frying and tossing the rice for 3-4 minutes.

Add the shrimp, egg, and remaining tablespoon of soy sauce, and toss for 2 more minutes, until the rice looks evenly brown. Enjoy!
